Eleven test-takers achieved perfect scores in all subjects on the 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT), ten more than last year. 

The Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, which administers the state test, announced the news Thursday along with the results of the 2025 CSAT, which took place November 14. 

The Korean language and math sections of the exam turned out to be much easier this year than last year, with more than a thousand perfect scores in each. 

In the Korean language section, the highest standard score was 139, eleven points lower than on last year’s CSAT, while the highest standard score in the math section was eight points lower at 140.

If the highest score is close to 150 points, the test is considered “difficult.”

All test-takers will receive their results on Friday.
